NY Times on John Davidson, Blue Jackets

I generally don't make a point to push specific news articles in your faces, but this is a unique one.

First, it's The New York Times talking about the Columbus Blue Jackets. Through an admittedly New Yorker lens, granted, but this is Big Time exposure for the team.

Second, co-conspirator Morgan and the DBJ blog get mentions in the article. Big "w00t!" to Morgan and us. I can't speak for Morgan, but I'm flattered that the DBJ blog is being mentioned as a source of information related to the team.

Third, it's a very, very "eyes wide open" article. The team has a ton of challenges, largely due to history. That said, the fundamentals of stable franchise ownership, the high-quality Columbus community and the small but rabid fanbase suggest that the only thing holding the Columbus Blue Jackets back is the team itself. That's why Davidson is here.
